1 About this guide
This Quick Start Guide provides basic guidelines for the Rosemount 2160.
Refer to the Rosemount 2160 Reference Manual for more instructions. The
manual and this guide are also available electronically at Emerson.com/
Rosemount.
1.1 Safety messages
NOTICE
Power module considerations.
Each Power Module contains two "C" size primary lithium/thionyl chloride
batteries. Each battery contains approximately 2.5 grams of lithium, for a
total of 5 grams in each pack. Under normal conditions, the battery
materials are self-contained and are not reactive as long as the batteries and
the pack integrity are maintained. Care should be taken to prevent thermal,
electrical or mechanical damage. Contacts should be protected to prevent
premature discharge.
Battery hazards remain when cells are discharged.
Use caution when handling the power module. The Power Module may be
damaged if dropped from heights in excess of 20 ft. (6 m).
Power modules should be stored in a clean and dry area. For maximum
battery life, storage temperature should not exceed 86 °F (30 °C).
The power module may be replaced in a hazardous area. The power module
has surface resistivity greater than one gigaohm and must be properly
installed in the wireless device enclosure. Care must be taken during
transportation to and from the point of installation to prevent electrostatic
charge build-up.

NOTICE
Shipping considerations for wireless products.
The unit was shipped to you without the power module installed. Remove
the power module prior to shipping.
Each power module contains two “C” size primary lithium batteries. Primary
lithium batteries are regulated in transportation by the U. S. Department of
Transportation, and are also covered by IATA (International Air Transport
Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), and ARD
(European Ground Transportation of Dangerous Goods). It is the
responsibility of the shipper to ensure compliance with these or any other
local requirements. Consult current regulations and requirements before
shipping.
WARNING
Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could result in
death or serious injury.
Ensure the level detector is installed by qualified personnel and in
accordance with applicable code of practice.
Use the level detector only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may
impair the protection provided by the level detector.
The weight of a level detector with a heavy flange and extended fork length
may exceed 37 lb. (18 kg). A risk assessment is required before carrying,
lifting, and installing the level detector.
WARNING
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Verify that the operating atmosphere of the level detector is consistent with
the appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
Before connecting a handheld communicator in an explosive atmosphere,
ensure that the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with
intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
In explosion-proof/flameproof and non-incendive/type n installations, do
not remove the housing covers when power is applied to the level detector.
Both housing covers must be fully engaged to meet flameproof/explosion-
proof requirements.

WARNING
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
Ensure the level detector is handled carefully. If the process seal is damaged,
gas might escape from the vessel (tank) or pipe.
WARNING
Physical access
Unauthorized personnel may potentially cause significant damage to and/or
misconfiguration of end users’ equipment. This could be intentional or
unintentional and needs to be protected against.
Physical security is an important part of any security program and
fundamental to protecting your system. Restrict physical access by
unauthorized personnel to protect end users’ assets. This is true for all
systems used within the facility.
CAUTION
Hot surfaces
The flange and process seal may be hot at high process temperatures. Allow
to cool before servicing.
